Northern Michigan "Treehouse" Retreat

This second story apartment provides the northern Michigan experience. The views from the deck and windows overlook fields and woods and it is so quiet that deer and wild turkeys pass through the property. Just outside the backyard you can hike or cross country or snowshoe the fields and hills. There is plenty of room for a trailered boat to park. The owners' home is on the property.
The open living room and kitchen area have a spacious feel. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking with eating at the bar or a small dining table is in a window nook. The pellet stove provides atmosphere and added warmth; otherwise there is hot water heat. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other has a king size bed with walk in closets in both. The full bathroom has double sinks, bath/shower and plenty of storage. Linens and towels are provided and washer and dryer are available. On the deck is a gas grill. WiFi is available free. AC unit is in the living area and one bedroom.

Location: The property is just 6 miles from Boyne City, less than 1 mile from Lake Charlevoix beach access and a small boat launch. Less than a mile away is the newly completed bike path into Boyne City. Hike or bike Avalanche Hill for great views of the lake. Go the farmers' market in summer or fall or the many festivals that the city offers throughout the year.
Drive about 10 miles to Charlevoix or Petoskey. There you can shop, dine, golf, kayak, bike, fish, canoe, attends concerts, or hike the many trails of the nature preserves.
About 12 miles away is Boyne Mountain and 30 miles is Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob. Snowmobile trails are also in the winter.

Autumn Retreat
I needed some peace and quiet to relax. I am so glad that I chose the "Treehouse". The price was affordable, property clean, and the location was within an hour or less of the surrounding areas my sis-in-law and I wanted to visit. We loved passing through the tree lined driveway to find the Treehouse, nestled around the woods. The view of Autumn's vibrant colors from the deck were amazing. The open floor plan welcomes you into a cozy setting. There were stuffed wildlife around the house. (Excellent craftsmanship). The pellet stove was easy to operate and provided a warm glow and warmth. There were plenty of towels, and extra blankets/pillows if needed. One of the highlights was the beds - so comfortable! We heard their puppy, Ginger, but never got a chance to meet her. I would definitely go back.

Fantastic place to stay
Visited with my father and father-in-law for a fishing trip. The location was perfect, we had quick access to the areas we were visiting. The home itself was perfect, very clean, great amenities and very comfortable. Janet and Al were lovely and we enjoyed the visits from the family dog. Morning coffee on the deck and being able to hike the property were highlights.

A delightful, quiet, and restful home base for visiting many NW Michigan communities
The Treehouse was an ideal place for us to gather, eat, and relax while traveling around Charlevoix, Boyne City, Walloon, and Petoskey. While we weren't able to meet Janet, her communication prior to our staying was clear, friendly, and very helpful. Al was delightful. The rental included everything we needed to make our own meals, plenty of space to relax and get away from the bustling towns, and an entire property that oozed beauty and and relaxation. Would definitely recommend.

Ski Weekend Stay
Quiet and reasonably priced two bedroom with close proximity to Boyne city and Boyne Mountain. Perfect for our last-minute ski weekend getaway. The owners were very responsive and the place was clean. Has a nice hunting cabin vibe - loaded with taxidermy.
